Reaching The Checkout. . .

Good morning, Michael. Leave it to you to raise some interesting questions about the future of this platform as part of the June Challenge. I've submitted two entries and I suspect I'm done. 

Loved reading your viewpoint and questions. Pondering begets more pondering!

As for keeping your points, that's certainly one way to do it!

Good morning Michael. As always you raise great points worthy of pondering. You have to know when to hold them and when to fold them, know when to walk away and when to run! Thanks Kenny Rogers! Some need not spend points to inspire other members. Enjoy your day.

So many dreams have been had with the use of AR points for purchase, but upon reaching the checkout, those dreams would have to go back on the shelves, since I am guessing that AR points will not be accepted for the purchase, haha.

I have thought about it, and a nice 1956 Corvette in pristine condition would certainly change my life. 

Michael, Sometimes it’s the made-up stuff that gets us thinking the most. Whether the 'points' stick around or not, the conversations they spark might be the real reward!

Michael Jacobs - Whether the points amount to much or not, I find them to be an incentive to keep going. I notice, you never run out of ideas and obviously they mean something to you because you want to collect more! Good for you! I feel the same way. When I look at the people who started in 2010, I'm so behind in some and ahead of others from that same timeframe. I still have a lot of catching up to do! I am motivated!!!

I love your take on this question.  I dread going shopping and you have shown me how to embrace the act.  Have a great day.

Hello Michael and I am sure the Point store will not close so save more points for next time around.

Oh, your point pondering snowball continues rolling down the pseudo aisles of the AR Point Store, Michael! I have no idea what will happen to AR and thus, the store itself. Your points are all well received and here's to more ponderific posts from you, even when the AR Point Store doors shut for another season!

As always, thank you so much for your participation in our June challenge.

Michael- once again, you've wandered and pondered and where you traveled only encouraged us to do our own mind wandering.   It's funny that when I began my journey here, it took me months before I knew what p; points were. 

Michael, I have yet to do a post on the points allocation, and I have plenty to spread around!   

Interesting perspective as always as well as looking into the crystal ball. 

Thanks for sharing your thoughtful reflections, Michael Jacobs . I really appreciate how you connected the challenges to real-world experiences and kept the conversation lively. It’s always inspiring to see such genuine insights. Thanks for your valuable contribution! 😊

Good grief how did I miss your post Michael Jacobs! I'm so glad that Kathy Streib featured your post in her Sunday Series! I've had a crazy busy week and am playing catch up. I love your header and as always your different slant on the challenge! Not spending the imaginary points is an option too! 

I am not a big social media advocate and the most social I get online is within the site. Michael Jacobs  When they close shop, or downsize, or re-purpose or do something Amazoning with it, that will most likely end it for me.

That old game show Supermarket Sweep is the place where this final lab would be the most exciting’ Haba

I think back to the early days when the leader ahead of me in my city and county had over 200,000 points ahead of me. I remember the first time there was a challenge and I got hooked....doing whatever needed to capture that first place spot. It seemed so impossible at the time. 

I did eventually make it to #1 and remain there (even though all I post now is my Wednesday post). Never did make it to #1 in the state though. That's just fine with me, LOL. Nothing wrong with second place!
